      It’s that left side of the midfield that’s an issue. We’ve tried to accommodate Keita there when he’s been fit and it’s not working for the lad, we tried it with Jones today and we try it with Gini, Hendo or whoever is playing on the day.

      Someone who can play there and also play where Mane plays.

      Basically still haven't replaced Coutinho.

      The trouble with Milner at LB isn’t that he can’t do a job it’s that he’s not offering what Robbo does in terms of defensive solidity and finding pockets of space.

      No comparison pal but much better option then the 8th wonder of the world Moreno

      His name was / is Fekir.

      I just don’t think we’ve found one as suitable AND fit.

      Not saying there isn’t just looks pretty much like we’re not happy with alternatives.

      I’d be happy with Lallana there but he’d have to stay fit.

      Nothing from Adam lately suggests to me he's even remotely able to play the type of football we do now mate.

      Just like Danny this team has past them by.

      I say that as one of Lallana's biggest admirers on here as well.

      I think he can. He had a couple of good appearances this year but he just can’t stay fit.

      Juve look like they would sell Dybala in summer for £90mill

      Surely that is the ONE replacement for Couthino?

      I don't think many of us thought the squad was as thin as it is and it was exposed last night as soon as we had to put on a 16 year old CB.
      The problem is who is available who could sit comfortably alongside Virgil?.

      Definitely we are not spending that buddy!

      Fekir was supposed to be Cou's replacement but that mantle has fallen on Shaqiri. Wilson will be a first team player for sure next season and could be Lallana's replacement (squad player). Solanke gone, probably Studge and Origi in the summer - so, cue the Werner links. Got a feeling that Milner will be let go if Leeds get promoted, so we might be after a young CM (Hopefully Aouar)

      Bobby, Mo, Mane, Werner, Wilson, Shaqiri - our 6 forward players
      Hendo, Gini, Keita, Fab, Ox, Aouar - our 6 midfield players
      If we do bring in Lloyd Kelly, that completes our back line as well - don't think we will be after a CB in the summer either.

      So, Werner, Aouar, Kelly might be the only additions to our squad in the summer (or at least those positions, if not those players) and of course, a #2 GK plus Wilson coming back.

      Sorry, went overboard slightly  ;D

      Auoar isn’t going to happen IMO, he was recently saying how glad he is to have turned us down and opted for staying at Lyon.

      Just wishful thinking mate. Demirbay could be an option as well. We were linked with him previously and Nagelsmann is leaving Hoffenheim too.

      Anybody, including the boss who still thinks we dont need 1 or 2 in now?

      After the Wolves match it looks like 1 or 2 seniors should be shown the door.

      4 to be precise. Migs, Moreno, Origi, Studge

      The number was just in reply to the OP.

      Migs, Moreno, Origi, Sturridge, Lallana - All should be moved on in the Summer.

      Yup it really showed up how useless Stu, Moreno and Mignolet are. We would be better off with more young lads out there last night.

      Milner probably won't be getting a new contract now. It expires in summer. He's on 120k a week or something.

      Fantastic servant to the club Milner but it looks like he is finally starting to run out of steam and age catching up with him, either that or he's playing with an injury at the moment but he has looked very slow recently.

      He's picked up a few injuries this season.
      Ideally he'd not be getting as much game time, so that's probably hampered his recovery.
      Milner's old school so probably used to playing through niggles.

      More likely than not Milly ends up back at Leeds next season. He deserves to finish off where he started and there's no way the club would get in the way of that IMO.

      What do people think about Isco?

      We’ve been linked with him a few times over the years eh? Seen a rumour about us being interested but don’t have the link unfortunately.

      So, Hudson-Odoi close to Bayern. Could be Trent vs CHO next month!

      A fan of this succession planning from Bayern: CHO for Ribery and Alphonso Davies for Robben. Not to forget they have Gnabry and Coman too!
